LTB: A Chair, by Harveyn on Oct 30, 2010 22:28:37 GMT 1, The Karuselli Chair is one I have wanted for a number of years. I guess when I retire its the one for me.
www.finnishdesignshop.com/furniture-lounge-sofas-yrjo-kukkapuro-karuselli-karuselli-chair-whiteblack-p-109.html
Finderz the one you like is by Julian Major and is not the most comfortable. Its certainly one of my favourites and is suppose to represent a crumpled piece of paper.
I cannot compete with Wiz and I will one day buy a proper Ron Arad on his advice.
My kids get a lot of fun out of this one.

LTB: A Chair, by wizzy on Oct 30, 2010 23:17:08 GMT 1, It is not a Ron Arad design Damien, it was sold at One Off in Neale st when Ron started the studio there in the 80s, he had quite a few works by other Designers on show like Tom Dixon, Danny Lane and Andre Dubreuil etc. Also dont forget Ron has done loads of designs for manufacturers like Vitra and Kartell and these are not RAA works either. Rons current editions start from around 30k and are sold off plan.

Edit: Meaning German Bauhaus classic

LTB: A Chair, by wizzy on Oct 30, 2010 23:56:32 GMT 1, Arad and Caroline did the original Rover seats in singles and doubles in the early 80s (Loads of fakes around now though!!), the ones on Top Gear are poor copies as the producers wouldnt shell out enough cash for the real ones. Singles now are roughly 5k and doubles 10k depending on colour and condition and authenticity, any red ones you see on open market are prob fake as loads have cropped up since Restless at the Barbican. I have this 3.5 litre Rover Settee in for sale, all correct and fully authenticated (unlike some on the market!!!), one owner from purchase so never seen an auction 17k GBP plus shipping.
edit. This is now sold.

Funny enough I victory just come back from the old cinema on Chiswick high Road, who has a couple of nice single Arad Rover seats upstairs which looked legit.
